You can rent bikes at IKEA.

But not at White Marsh, of course. Still, it’s pretty awesome that Ikea thinks like they do. Banning plastic bags, marking everything for recycling, the re-purposed banana leaf chairs in my living room.

Still, I wish that the company had thought to put “Ikea Baltimore” somewhere near the city, rather than in the sprawl wastelands of big parking lots, faded to grey and crumbling. I don’t know where they could have put it. Just in actual Baltimore.
